Season seven American Idol runner-up David Archuleta got the surprise of his life on Friday (March 5) when his car karaoke cover of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" resulted in an unexpected thumbs up from the superstar.
The whole unlikely journey began on Thursday (March 4) when Archuleta posted a mash-up cover of his 2008 debut single "Crush" with Swift's iconic Fearless single.
The now-30-year-old Archuleta explained in a video that he got the idea from a Twitter follower, which segues into Swift's anthem swelling up and David crooning his love-sick song over "Love Story" in shockingly perfect harmony in a 45-second pop tour de force.
